Process Innovations: High Productivity Tapping

Chicago, Illinois – The High Productivity Tapping presentation is intended to give the audience a unique view of one of the most problematic and feared operations in any manufacturing environment. High Productivity Tapping covers all major conditions that affect tapping and will give the audience information on common problems and solutions to those to help them achieve the most stable and fastest tapping process.

A complete understanding of everything involved in the tapping process as a connected system including; the machine, fixture, workpiece, tool, tool holder and lubrication will be presented. In depth detail of tap designs, materials, coatings and usage by application type including roll form taps. Common machine considerations such as limitations of spindle speed, spindle acceleration rates and rigid tapping accuracy. How to spot and correct common problems in tapping caused by tap reaction forces and misalignment of threads using Synchro Tapping Chucks. Design requirements and performance considerations of taps for MQL applications will also be covered.

Every attendee will walk away with some tangible piece of information they can take back to their plant to better understand and improve their process.
